Knauf FB4 Bullet Resistant Partitions have been designated to resistance class FB4 NS in acc. to EN 1522 after testing by the Beschussamt (state ballistics office) in Ulm, Germany.

The product for your safety

Knauf TorroSafety is achieved by using the high-strength, highly-compressed gypsum fibre board Knauf Torro in the partition cavity. Two layers of 28 mm thick boards ensure that a calibre 44 Remington Magnum projectile when fired stays embedded at half way, that is between both board layers (see the image on page 6). The reason for this is the strength of the board along with the simultaneous ductility (deformability) of the material. This leads to the absorption of the kinetic energy of the projectile by plastic deformation of the projectile itself as well as the plastic deformation yield of the board material along the entry hole.

The system for your safety

ConstructionKnauf FB4 Bullet-Resistant Partitions consist of a metal substructure as a single stud partition, a double layer of special gypsum board Knauf Torro in the partition cavity and double layer cladding made of Knauf Diamant hard gypsum board on both sides. The stud frame is anchored all around to the flanking constructional components. The variant with a stud frame made of CW 75 metal studs offers the most streamlined option, whereas the CW 100 variant can provide an additional layer of insulation material to improve the sound insulation properties.

CW stud. Cut and install the top Knauf Torro layer to take account of the remaining height. Place the CW stud (apply a string of Trennwandkitt acoustical sealant to the centre lap of the profile channel) with the lap pointing towards the Torro boards in the UW runner and crimp it with the stud crimper. Apply a further string of Trennwandkitt acoustical sealant in the centre of the profile lap on the side of the next installation field.From the 2nd installation field, set Knauf Torro horizontally (width 624 mm) into the profile, and to ensure grid spacing of 625 mm, continue to observe the joint stagger (approx. 300 mm). Install the stud partition as detailed under 3.Continue with the installation sequence until all fields have been applied with 2x 28 mm Knauf Torro. Note: Turn the last CW stud to set the opening towards the boards!

Fixing of the last partition field is undertaken with a Knauf L angle 30x13x0.8. Set the first bracket on the UW runner (apply Trennwandkitt acoustical sealant beforehand) and crimp it, then fasten the short, perforated leg at spacings of approx. 500 mm to the flanking constructional component. Apply a gypsum board section (approx. 40 x 40 x 12.5 mm) between the angle and Knauf Torro at a spacing of approx. 1 m and glue in with Trennwandkitt acoustical sealant, apply precisely cut Knauf Torro boards, push them into the corresponding angle leg and align and fasten the second angle on the opposite partition side also on the UW runner flanges.

6 Note ■ Apply CW studs and Knauf Torro board-to-stud!

■ With CW 100 grid: In order to correctly apply the Knauf Torro boards in the partition cavity, insert a gypsum board spacer (approx. 40 x 40 x 12.5 mm) with Trennwandkitt acoustical sealant between the CW stud flange and Knauf Torro at spacings of approx. 1 m and press on the Knauf Torro board on the respective flange side. Jam in a roof batten section (or doubled up gypsum board sections) for support on the opposite flange side between the profile flange and Knauf Torro board (remove when installing the insulation layer or before cladding the partition).

■ Door and window openings must be applied after consultation with the manufacturers. The stud frame in the opening area must be

structurally rated for the load applied by Knauf Torro (84 kg/m²).

■ Knauf Torro boards can be cut to size with an electrical circular saw equipped with a dust extractor. (Saw blade from Knauf Integral Material no. 186326)

Do not use hardening material. Remove slight bumps directly after setting. Clean the tools with water after use. Sand with Knauf Hand Rasp / Grinder with Shaft and Rasp Mesh after drying.

Application temperature/climate■ Filling and covering of joints should only

take place when no more longitudinal changes can be expected, i.e. expansion or contraction due to humidity or temperature changes.

■ Joints should be filed at a minimum room temperature of about +10°C.

■ In case of mastic asphalt screed, cementitious screed and self-levelling screed, fill in board joints after screed has been applied.

■ Observe Code of Practice no. 1 “Baustellenbedingungen” of the BVG (IGG).

► Good to knowFilling the joints of covered cladding layers with multi-layer cladding is necessary to guarantee X-Ray shielding, technical fire protection and sound insulation properties as well as the structural properties!

Finish

Coatings and liningsPretreatmentThe entire surface should be dust-free before applying a coating. Before further coatings or linings (wallpaper) are applied, always pretreat and prime gypsum board surfaces, in accordance with Code of Practice no. 6 of the BVG (IGG) “Vorbehandlung von Trockenbauflächen aus Gipsplatten zur weitergehenden Oberflächenbeschichtung bzw. –bekleidung” (German only). Ensure that the primer is compatible with the coating / paint / lining.

In order to settle the different absorption properties of the filled areas and the board liner, primers such as Knauf Tiefengrund/Spezialgrund/Putzgrund are suitable.Where a wallpaper lining is used, a primer that facilitates easier removal of wallpaper for redecoration is recommended. A sealing primer of Knauf Flächendicht is required for covering splash water areas with tiles.

Suitable coatings and liningsThe following coatings/linings can be applied to Knauf boards:

■ Wallpapers Paper, fleece, textile and synthetic wallpapers. Use only adhesives made of methyl cellulose according to Code of Practice no. 16 “Technische Richtlinien für Tapezier- und Klebearbeiten” released by the Bundesausschuss Farbe und Sachwertschutz (German only).

■ Ceramic tiles on partitions Minimum cladding thickness 18 mm (Diamant: 15 mm) for stud spacings of 625 mm, for narrower cladding thickness (min. 12.5 mm) reduce the stud spacing to max. 417 mm.

► See also the Plaster and Façade system Product Data Sheets

■ Plasters: - Top coats (e.g. Knauf Noblo, Diamant Spray Plaster, Rotkalk Filz) or full surface plaster (e.g. Knauf Readygips, MultiFinish). Application of plaster layers only in conjunction with Knauf Fugedeckstreifen Kurt joint tape.

■ Paint coats: - Dispersion paints (e.g. Knauf Intol E.L.F., Malerweiss E.L.F.), multi-coloured (rainbow) emulsion, silicate-based emulsion paints with a suitable primer.

Unsuitable are: ■ Alkaline coats such as lime, water glass paints and silicate-based paints.

Notes:After wallpapering or after application of plasters, quick drying must be ensured through adequate airing.

Gypsum board surfaces that have constantly been exposed to light without any protection can cause yellowing after coating. Therefore, a trial coat is recommended that will extend across several board widths including all joints. Yellowing can, however, be successfully avoided only by using a special primer, such as Knauf Aton Sperrgrund for top coats, Knauf Atonol for paint coats.

Fire protection: Other decorative coatings or coatings and vapour barriers up to about 0.5 mm thickness as well as claddings (with the exception of sheet metal), do not have any influence on the technical fire resistance classification of Knauf systems.

► Good to knowKnauf interior paints consist of environmentally friendly constituents and bear the E.L.F. quality seal, and are certified by TÜV Rheinland.

■ Low emission ■ Solvent-free ■ Free of fogging active substances ■ Odourless
